Recent developments based on radiation hardened space processors (ERC 32, ARM, Leon, etc) have given Crisa a significant expertise in hardware and real time software, on board computers and data handling technology. These are the main areas of expertise:

Crisa has supplied multiple spacecraft computers and controllers for different missions:

Gaia will create a 1.000 million star map of the Milky Way

The future Gaia satellite will be the biggest digital camera in the solar system, reaching a resolution of almost one gigapixel thanks to its 106 CCDs (Charged Couple Devices). Each CCD will be controlled by one of the proximity electronic modules currently under development by Crisa
